All you need is a desire to identify and explore areas in your life that are holding you back, and want to move forward.  This is your journey – a powerful, guided self-exploration and self-development opportunity.  You will get back what you put in, participating fully in the process and supporting your fellow Vision Questors, as well as being supported by them.

Be prepared to wild camp and look after yourself and feed yourself.  You do not need previous bushcraft experience or expertise.  However, if you do already have these outdoor skills, be prepared to share them with your tribe and support others who may not be skilled like you!  Obviously it would help if you have camped before in some context.  You will be sent a suggested kit list and briefing handbook.

Vision Quest is not a survival exercise.  Although exploring some of these basic skills, and being immersed in nature and the beauty of the forest, does form an important backdrop to the whole experience of re-engaging with ourselves and with the environment.   We must be mindful that this is wild Scotland, and in many ways can be more challenging to our mindset and character than the south of France or even the desert.  Learning specific outdoor skills will be a necessary part of the process.

Vision Quest is for everyone – People who choose to Vision Quest are as many and varied as their reasons and intentions.  Many don’t have a concrete reason – They simply know they need to do this.  We have worked hard to make this personal-development process relevant and up to date, so that it feels accessible and relevant to everyone today, whether you wear a suit and tie, makeup and manicure, hiking boots, a uniform or camouflage. Whoever we are, however we define ourselves, Wilderness Vision Quest is more relevant today than ever.

Step away from all the technology of modern western life, or jobs (if we have one), or families (if we have one), things that influence us – What are we left with?  Who are we really?  Who and what defines us?  Can we remember who we were meant to be, and what is our purpose or direction?  Or are we lost?  Has life damaged us, so that we don’t know who we are anymore or what we want to do?  Is there some problem or issue we need to identify and deal with?  Do we need to move on?

Please reach out to the team, we can provide options on car sharing or getting to site.

Yes! 

We have a tremendous number of safety protocols in play, including a professional staff whose main purpose is keeping you safe during this experience. While you are performing a solo experience, you will be able to select a site that is as remote (or not) as you'd like. Our team will be nearby for the duration of the weekend, so support is always available if needed.

Attendees are screened and carefully identified and selected. There will also be ways to contact in an emergency and procedures given for everyone for a regular check-in.

Finally, the estate is very remote, making the chance of anyone from the public coming across your camp extremely low. Thankfully we all very glad to have not heard of any incidents involving solo  wild campers in the UK. Our aim is to provide an experience that feels both safe and supportive, but also challenging and out of your comfort zone.
